Japan's top marketing research firm INTAGE has led the industry and achieved steady growth since its foundation in 1960. In recent years, we have branched out beyond mainstay marketing research and consulting business into fields such as industry-specific systems solutions and medical solutions that support pharmaceutical development. INTAGE has grown into a company with a business model that is unique around the world.

Our mission has always been to provide customers with intelligence (i.e. information that aids in the decision-making process) that has real value for them, and this mission will remain steadfast moving forward as we list on the 2nd Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Thanks to the support of all our stakeholders, we rank as the top marketing research firm in Japan and the 11th worldwide*. We will not be resting on our laurels, however. We intend to advance to the next step and continue striving to fulfill our mission and continue to be the leader in innovation in our industry. The keyword for the next stage is "platform." While maintaining a global perspective, our goal is to achieve further growth by building new information platforms and creating new information added value to our clients. Look forward to the future of INTAGE as we move to the Next Stage.
